Chapter 988 Successive Rounds of Shock
Swoosh!
Being the closest person within the crazed Priest Merkkon's sight, Leon became the target of the over fifty-foot tall giant's charge.
Boom…! Boom…!
Priest Merkkon shook the ground with every step he took, which was big, heavy, and very quick. Several buildings collapsed before he closed the distance on Leon in a heartbeat.
"Piss off!"
Leon quickly drew his Tier-7 White Spear from the Worldspace and infused it with his dark energy.
Then, he immediately cleaved the Paragon-level gigantified person in half with a clean swing right as the Paragon-level gigantified person reached him.
The might and sharpness of the Tier-7 White Spear were undeniable.
No matter powerful Priest Merkkon's body had become, it was still within the Paragon level. It cannot withstand the blade of a tier-6 weapon, let alone a tier-7 one!
After all, whether it was a tier-6 or tier-7 weapon, they were already divine-tier weapons. Only Celestial-level beings would have the power to resist their sharpness.
Duke Flugerd vomited some blood while being supported by a few Transcendents when he witnessed the scene.
The shock written across his face was evident.
Nevertheless, it wasn't just Duke Flugerd. Marquis Raygor, the three earls, all the remaining Transcendent-level troops were also shocked by the scene.
"When did the Human Domain have such a powerful Paragon with such a young appearance? Wait, no. It's not his strength alone; it's that spear!"
"What kind of divine spear can cleave another Paragon with powerful vitality and defense in two? It must be at least tier-6 or even tier-7!"
"Just where did he find such a divine weapon?!"
The Transcendents exclaimed with shock.
Even if Venerable Forge Master and Venerable Runemaster joined hands, it would take them months or even years to successfully create a tier-6 divine weapon.
Of course, that is also under the assumption that they had tier-6 materials to work with and Venerable Pill Master's heavenly flame to refine the material.
They were all regarded as tier-6 of their respective professions, but they lacked the cultivation base and ability to create any tier-6 products on their own.
Nevertheless, the Priest Merkkon didn't die from just a single attack.
It might have been a mortal wound to others, but it was only a superficial wound at best to Priest Merkkon.
Leon frowned when he saw how Priest Merkkon's bisected body pieced themselves together.
It reminded him of the fleshly abominations and mutant humans he once encountered in the subterranean regions.
In fact, the current gigantified monster was not much different from the fleshly abominations if Leon was to ignore its humanoid form.
Priest Merkkon had achieved his transformation through the rapid proliferation of his bodily parts on a cellular level.
Puchi! Puchi!
Leon hacked the giant body into multiple more pieces before watching their reconstruction in awe.
Priest Merkkon's powerful regeneration and lifeforce were truly impressive.
Alas, it was only borrowed power, and the price was too great.
Furthermore, it was questionable whether such a forceful method of gaining power would allow future breakthroughs in cultivation.
It was no different from overdrawing one's potential for an immediate power boost.
Nevertheless, Leon continued to dice up Priest Merkkon's body.
Then, Leon quickly discovered that Priest Merkkon's body was reconstructed at a much slower rate when it had more parts to reconnect.
"Hm?" Leon noticed the Geyser Kingdom's people trying to slip away during the chaos.
However, Leon immediately shot them a glare and declared, "Don't think about leaving this place alive."
"Dammit, we are going to die!" Earl Blavier cried hopelessly with despair, succumbing to his inevitable fate.
If a Paragon wanted him dead by sunset, he would not live to see the sunrise.
Many felt the same way.
However, Duke Flugerd and several others were unwilling to give up hope.
Suddenly, Duke Flugerd's eyes lit up with an idea.
"Quick, capture the elf! The Paragon came with an elvish beauty. She must be someone important! If we can use her as a hostage, we can get away from this place!" Duke Flugerd quickly directed.
All eyes were immediately fixed on Faelyn like numerous pairs of eyes from hungry wolves, causing Faelyn to feel unsettled and intimidated.
She was just a single Transcendent, while Duke Flugerd's Transcendent-level troops numbered in the hundreds. They were still one marquis and three earls at the Seeking Insight-stage Transcendent Realm.
However, the moment the Transcendents rushed at Faelyn, Snowscar suddenly woke up in her arms and glared at the incomers.
"Reow!" Snowscar roared like a mighty lion.
Boom!
It was like an explosion had gone off in everyone's head, catching them off guard and shocking them silly.
No one expected the cute little and adorable thing to have such a ferocious and powerful voice.
However, the most shocking realization was that the was a Paragon-level beast! A Paragon-level Winter Cat being treated like a household pet!
The Transcendents immediately halt their charge, frozen in terror.
The first to reach the elvish beauty will die without a doubt.
In fact, it doesn't matter how many of them there are. If the Transcendents rushed at the elvish beauty together, they would die all the same!
"Another Paragon…" a Transcendent fell back on his rear after feeling weak in the knees with a pale face filled with despair. "Is this the end for us?"
"Two Paragons wants us dead… how do we survive? No, wait a minute…" the Transcendents suddenly glanced back at the other Winter Cat on Leon's shoulder.
"Reow!" Rainshine hissed at them, appearing fierce yet cute.
However, no one had the heart to adore Rainshine when they sensed her Paragon-level aura.
Boom…
Duke Flugerd and his people suffered another subsequent round of shock.
"Three Paragons… How can this be?" Duke Flugerd uttered with an incomprehensible look.
Duke Flugerd did not understand how the struggling kingdom, which didn't even have a single Transcendent a few months back, suddenly grew to the point that they could even tame Paragon-level beasts.
Alas, Duke Flugerd had a bigger problem on his hand. Leon abhorred cowardly acts like using his loved ones as hostages against him.
"Go, die!" Leon spat, raising his spear and gathering dark energy to the tip for a single attack at Duke Flugerd's heart.
"Wait! Spare his life!" King Lutheran's desperate plea came in the nick of time.
